    So I have setup a search page to search my site over at http://www.toseef.com/search using the google api

    A few questions:

    1) When does the google api reset to zero? Is this at US time midnight or UK time?

    2) Can I use a family members api key (with thier permission of course) when mine has reached its limit? Is there a chance of me getting penalised for this?

    3) Just confirm for me please, when it says your search returned no results, this also counts towards the usage.

    :cool:

    1. It doesn't seem to be consistent. It seems to be at random times.

    2. The API usage is per developer. You are not supposed to use other people's keys.

    3. It counts.
